Liverpool looking at new defender role amid injury crisis

There's been some contrasting reports over the future of defender Sepp van den Berg in recent days

The Dutch centre-half is being linked with loan moves this summer, moves from Liverpool with reported interest from across England and the continent.

A recent article in Lancashire Live claims Blackburn Rovers, also the loan destination for midfielder Tyler Morton, is closing in on a move.

However, a contrasting report from the Daily Mail over the weekend claims Liverpool want to hold on to the central defender until later in the transfer window as they need more defensive cover. Following fitness concerns with Ibrahima Konate and now Joel Matip, the injury crisis is deepening for Jurgen Klopp.
